CASTRIES SOUTH EAST DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE 

In February the Community Development Officer for the Area attended a three day 

regional workshop in Barbados on the Creation of Hazard Mapping. 

Also in February 2003 some thirty- seven (37) community members from Castries 

South East participated in a four day workshop in Mass Casualty Management. 

Twenty- seven (27) of those participants received certificates in CPR and all 

participants receiving Certificates of Participation. 

In April, five persons from the communities participated in training in Shelter 

Management. 

The Committee met in June 2003 to discuss plans for the Symposium scheduled 

for July 2003. The purpose of this Symposium was to begin a process whereby Castries South East Satellite Warehouse 

Community Disaster Preparedness Committees would begin to structure their organizations like that of the Central body. 

With these structures in place, communities would therefore become more functional and be able to provide that link to the 

Core Committee. 

The Symposium was held on July 31, 2003 with some twenty-five (25) persons in attendance representing ten (10) communities 

from Castries South East. Communities presented information on the status of their community’s preparedness and initial 

plans. 

Throughout the year the Committee participated in various national activities to include a Use of the ECLAC Methodology in 

Assessing the Macro-economic and Social Impact of Natural Disasters Workshops and telecom call out. 

The Committee provided NEMO with its Wish List which it hopes will commence 

the utilization of its newly constructed Warehouse located at L’Abayee. 

In 2004 The Committee will meet to discuss Preparedness Plans for the New Year 

and will hold its second Symposium as a follow up of 2003 discussions towards 

the establishment of Community Disaster Preparedness Plans. 

Special emphasis will be made on the inclusion of prevention plans in the 

identification and construction of community infrastructural projects. 

Background – Chairman of the Castries 

Southeast Committee at NEMO Meeting 

Committee and community members will also participate in training activities 

scheduled within the year. 

The Committee looks forward to a more active and productive year in Disaster Preparedness in Castries 

South East.

BABONNEAU DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE 

ANNUAL REPORT 

April 1, 2003 to March 31, 2004 

Prior to April 2003, the Committee was not organized and sub-committees were not in place. At the beginning of the year the 

committee focused on organizing the various sub-committees. All subcommittees were formed with the exception of Shelter 

Management. Letters were sent out to all churches and schools within Babonneau inviting the participation of one (1) or two 

(2) representatives to a meeting in an effort to form the Shelter Management Sub-committee. Only one (1) school and two (2) 

churches were represented at the meeting. The Committee has always experienced difficulty in having the Principal or 

designate present at meetings. 

During the period under review, the Committee held regular meetings. These meetings focused on explaining the roles and 

responsibilities of the sub-committees as well as identifying the available resources within the communities. The Education 

sub-committee was also formed with the mandate to put together strategies for an anti litter campaign. The Education subcommittee 

met with personnel from the Saint Lucia Solid Waste Management Authority and the OECS Natural Resource 

Management Unit. These two agencies pledged their support to the initiative. At their next meeting, the sub-committee will be 

meeting all school principals to solicit their input to the action plan and its implementation. 

The Committee received radios from NEMO and a training session was held on the Use and Maintenance of the equipment. 

An exercise to test the radios in the various communities was also carried out. The exercise was to determine the reception 

quality from base to the various communities. 


~ Sensitization meetings in all sub-communities 

~ Identify and document hazards in all sub-committees 

~ Inspect all shelters and update shelter list 

~ Form Shelter Management Sub-committees

CASTRIES EAST DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE 

ANNUAL REPORT 

April 1, 2003 to March 31, 2004 

During the period under review the Committee held monthly meetings. 

1. Members of the committee participated in a recruitment drive inspecting all the high-risk areas in the different zones. 

2. Four (4) members of the committee attended the PRF training workshop and two (2) attended the Hazard Mitigation 

Planning and Hazard Mapping and Vulnerability Assessment Prioritization Workshop which was held for three days from 

3rd February to 5th February, 2004. 

3. The Chairman gave lectures to members on fire safety and means of escape in case of fire and other emergencies. 

Pamphlets were issued to members on Fire Safety, Catastrophe, Hurricanes, Floods and Slides, Heat, etc. 

Observation 

During the zonal tours a number of hazards were observed in Maynard Hill, Black Mallet and Bagatelle. There were a number 

of small slides in the areas mentioned during the period under review. There is an area at the lower part of Maynard Hill with 

a hump which is rising slowly. Also, there are some areas at the upper part of Maynard Hill where water is coming out of the 

ground, which we assume is a result of improper drainage from the top of the hill to the bottom. Also, there are a number of 

damaged sewage systems in the area, which present a great risk to life and property in the event of a serious hurricane or 

earthquake. As some of the areas are saturated with water, some residences are experiencing cracks and water on their 

premises. 

Hydrant 

There is a sluice hydrant in the Maynard Hill and Black Mallet area, which is a dead end; it was damaged during the 

demolishing of buildings in the area. This presents a great risk to a number of buildings in the area if there was a fire. The 

matter was reported to the Fire and Water authorities for further action. 

SHELTERS 

Shelters were inspected and found in order, with the exception of the necessary emergency equipment in the event of a 

disaster. Castries East is a high risk area prone to floods and slides, with some areas not easily accessible in the event of 

an emergency. Therefore, each Shelter in the area should be equipped with the necessary equipment such as a first aid kit, 

etc to deal with any Risk Hazard that is encountered. 

SLIDES AND FLOODS 

There were two (2) landslides at Maynard Hill and one at Rock Hall. One caused damage to a Senior Citizen Building and the 

other one blocked the road at the lower part of Maynard Hill. Mr. Haynes Cyril of the Castries East Disaster Committee, 

accompanied by other members of the committee, assisted in clearing the road, and reported the slide, which damaged the 

senior citizens building to the appropriate authorities for further action. The Slide has been dealt with and repairs to the 

Senior Citizens building are ongoing and will be completed soon. The slide near Rock Hall is still under investigation by 

authorities. 

FIRE 

There were 3 fires in the Castries East Constituency for the period in review. One was in the Bagatelle area, involving a 

house belonging to one Gray, but there was no loss of life. The house could not be saved because of the distance from the 

main road and the difficulty that prevented immediate help from the fire department. The fires at Black Mallet and Rock Hall 

completely destroyed these buildings, but with no casualties. 

COMPLAINTS 

1. The senior citizens of Maynard Hill and Black Mallet are complaining about the removal of the Marchand Health 

Centre to Entrepot. A number of them reported that they are not able to climb the Entrepot Hill due to the walking 

distance, especially for those who cannot walk properly, and to get their medication. They would like the Centre 

returned to its original location. 


I informed some of the senior citizens that the entire building is to be repaired, and the authorities should have a reason for 

moving the Heath Centre to Entrepot. The place may be a health hazard. I informed them that I will try and get some 

information from the authorities or District Representative and let them know. I encouraged some of them in the Club 60 and 

others to have patience, and that things will be done, even for those who cannot walk to the Health Centre for their medication. 

PLANS FOR THE YEAR 2004 

1. The recruitment drive to be continued 

2. The fundraising activity to be continued, disaster management training and further training in first aid, and fire protection 

and use of fire extinguishers. 

Observation 

3. There is a need for proper drainage in the Maynard Hill/Black Mallet areas to prevent floods and slides and for the 

protection of life and property in the area. 

4. It is observed that a section of the surface of the main road (above the upper standpipe) at Bagatelle is in need of a 

proper resurfacing in order to prevent major accidents. 

Emergency Equipment 

5. There is a need for the following emergency equipment for the Castries East Disaster Committee for the year 2004, to 

be equipped for all disasters: 

• Chainsaws 

• Cutlasses 

• Ropes 

• Spades 

• Barrows 

• Lanterns and torch lights 

• Medicine kids 

• Blankets 

• Stretchers 

• Lumber jack boots (thigh high) 

• Rain coats

Chairman 

Castries East Disaster Committee 

MICOUD NORTH DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE 

ANNUAL REPORT 

April 1, 2003 to March 31, 2004 

The Micoud North Emergency Management Committee comprises of fifty-seven registered persons from the communities 

of Praslin, Mamiku, Mon Repos, Patience, La Pointe, Malgratoute and the village of Micoud, including the Community 

Development Officer, a representative of the Police and the Health Centre staff respectively. 

For the period of April 2003 to March 2004 two meetings of these persons were held: one (1) prior to the hurricane season 

in May and in November 2003. While most persons were present at the May meeting, less than half attended the November 

meeting. Other meetings were held specifically for persons in the following groups/categories: (a) the Executive, (b) two (2) 

representatives of each community committee and (c) the Secretaries of each Sub-Committee, viz: transportation, 

telecommunication and information, supplies management, health and welfare, damage assessment and immediate 

works. Five (5) of such meetings were held during the period in question. 

During the month of September a number of outreach public meetings were held, one (1) in each of the communities. Topics 

covered were: Awareness for Disaster Preparedness, Attack on Plastics, Safety of Property. The police were to talk on the 

subject: “Law and Order in the Event of a Disaster” but never showed up at any of the meetings. Attendance at these meetings 

could have been better. All meetings were given due publicity through the electric media and using public address system. 

It would do well if politicians would play a greater role in ensuring that their constituency takes an active interest in matters 

of disaster preparedness. 

784 


The list of contracted suppliers was reviewed and proprietors were contacted to renew their commitments in the event of a 

disaster. The Micoud North Committee was very much concerned about the way shelters are identified and recommended 

for emergency. In spite of previous pleas from the Chairperson that officers going around to identify and check on buildings, 

should contact the Committee as to the day and time but this suggestion has been ignored. It is hoped that this year officers 

responsible will take this into consideration. Some shelters air marked as Emergency Shelters are either non-existence or 

are unsuitable. 

Training 

Ten (10) persons from the Committee received training in Basic Life Support Skills – the ABC of First Aid (CPR) and twentyfour 

(24) persons in Mass Casualty Management conducted by Mr. Pius Benjamin, Emergency Management Technician and 

Mr. Marinus Pascal, then Deputy Director of NEMO respectively. 

Participants are complaining over not receiving their certificates to date. Eight (8) persons were also trained in the use and 

care of hand held radios. Trainees were mainly from the Telecommunications & Information Sub-Committee. Certificates 

have already been awarded to those persons. There is need for the training of more persons in the various communities in 

the use and care of the radios. It is unfortunate that the radio based in Micoud is faulty. This has been reported to NEMO by 

both the committee Chairperson and the Chairperson of the Telecommunications & Information Sub-Committee on more 

than one occasion. For this reason, Micoud North has not been able to participate in the exercises which require the use of 

the radio. 

Five (5) hand radios were received from NEMO and were distributed among trained persons from five (5) of the communities. 

The committee requests at least three (3) more of these radios for the purpose of prompt communication. It is unfortunate 

that these radios can reach only a limited distance for proper communication. 

I am once more appealing for some help to ensure that the police co-operate by attending and participating in our meetings 

and activities. It is not enough to say that they will be there in the event of a disaster. 

Continuous planning, preparation and proper organization is of paramount importance. 

Obituary 

We regret to announce the passing away of the Chairperson of the Transportation Sub-Committee: Mr. Anthony Emmanuel 

on December 28, 2003. He was a dedicated and devoted member of both his community Malgratoute and the Micoud North 

Constituency at large. May he rest in peace! 

Concerns 

There are three(3) main concerns which need to be highlighted: (1) The absence of a stand-by generator at the Micoud 

Police Station for over two years; (2) We are yet to understand why the satellite warehouse in Micoud North has been kept 

closed for such a long time after it was built; (3) There is the practice of the washing of vehicles in the Troumassee River 

which the committee feels is a hazard to human and marine life. 

Recommendations 

The Committee has more than once requested a meeting or meetings of Chairpersons of Local Sub-Committees with 

Chairpersons of the National Sub-Committees. This is important as it will open an avenue for those concerned to share 

experiences, common concerns and or problems with a view to improve on administration of Local Committees. We need 

to re-negotiate for a proper place for our meetings and EOC. 

We previously made a recommendation but there has been no response. 

Fund Raising 

In March 2003 the committee organized a Sponsored Walk in an effort to obtain funds for the purchase a small First Aid Kit 

for each of the communities. Sponsorship was very poor, but we shall continue to make the effort to achieve our purpose. 

One of our main disappointments is the lack of proper record/record keeping. Persons who volunteered to do the secretarial 

work have become complacent and unreliable. Every effort will be made to improve this situation. 

We look forward for routine and frequent visits from NEMO representative since a new Deputy is now in place, to help 

restructure for more efficient functioning of committees.

We have had a lot of trouble with the availability of Crown Lands in Blanchard from the Ministry of Physical Planning. Land is 

needed so that we can utilize space for our storeroom structure. 

Three (3) emergency meetings were held in Blanchard at the school during the hurricane season. As a result of these three 

storms, numerous trees fell in Micoud South; two houses fell in the process. Drains and culverts were blocked due to heavy 

rain and debris. There were no major damages. We are pleased to report that LUCELEC contracted an individual to trim all 

trees and branches overhanging power lines Church lectures and meetings: 

The Committee held a meeting at the Ti Rocher multipurpose centre, lectured at the Desreuisseaux Evangelical Church, La 

Cu Ville Evangelical Church, Ti Rocher Adventist Church and Ti Rocher Baptist Church. 

Following our Mass Casualty, First Aid and CPR training from November 16-19 2002 in Blanchard, no certificates or 

identification has been received. 

Projects: 

All projects with Communications and Works — speed bumps, road signs, pedestrian crossings, etc, are still on hold. The 

Committee have supported the fire victim. 

To date the Committee has been very instrumental in the erection of a house for Ms. Alphonse, and it will soon be complete 

and formally presented. Mr. Peter Joseph from MCWT&PU has been assigned to the Committee and has attended meetings. 

Account: 

The Committee’s accounting process has gone through but there is need to make some more changes. 

The account stands at $194.64. 

Radios 

On 11th August 2003 members of the Executive received hand radios. The codes on the radios are MS-1 to MS-5. We are 

looking forward to more radio sets and base sets. We have problems presently with the repeater station in the south. Cable 

and Wireless has not played their role since the last report.

persons to a meeting at the Choiseul Police Station on May 16, 2003. An Executive was elected: 

• Chairperson: Ms. Clara Edwards 

• Deputy Chair: Mr. Peter Philip 

• Secretary: Mrs. Williana St. Rose 

• Treasurer: Miss Anthea Lafeuillee 

• Asst. Treasurer: Mr. John Mathurin

Year in Review April 2003-Feb 2004 

A workshop was conducted to train and acquaint all subcommittee members of their roles and responsibilities. 

May 15, 2003: Training workshop was held for all Shelter Managers. The main objective was to provide all persons who have 

the responsibility for operational management of emergency shelters with the necessary knowledge and skills to perform 

the required duties. A very successful workshop, conducted by Williana St. Rose. 

May 24, 2003: A very interesting, exciting and informative Simulation Exercise was planned by the committee and executed by 

Ms. Dawn French. The activity was done in two phases: 

1. The real-time notification which tested the length of time it took for the team to assemble at the headquarters (Choiseul 

Police Station). Members were not aware of the exact date, but they were aware of the week. 

2. The second phase was the form of a table-top exercise. The team remained in a room and pretended that the community 

required help. The team was required to find realistic solutions to a 7.0 magnitude earthquake south of St. Lucia. The team 

responded to search and rescue, shelter management, debris clearance, gas explosions, health issues, the press and 

providing a report. 

? 7th: A Workshop on Tracking and Mapping a Storm. This workshop provided persons with the technical knowledge and

Energy Prices at All-Time High 

OECS member-states are keeping their eyes on world market prices for oil and have warned that should prices continue 

to escalate, they will have no choice but to review energy prices across the sub-region. 

The energy issue was one of the urgent topics discussed the OECS’ 39th Summit in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. 

According to the Communique issued by the OECS Secretariat following the summit, the Heads of Government, gathered in 

Kingstown from May 20 to 21, “expressed their deep concern over rising oil prices and signalled that they may have to 

consider a review of energy prices at this time.” 

The OECS leaders “recognized that any increase in energy prices would pose serious threats to the economic recovery of 

the sub-region and that this in turn would impact negatively on their capacity to compete effectively in the international 

marketplace.” 

The Heads of Government “agreed to the establishment of an OECS Task Force on Energy Policy to advise on, among other 

things, effective energy conservation management, alternative energy sources and reform of the sector.” 

St. Lucia’s Prime Minister Dr Kenny D. Anthony says the volatility of the international market prices for oil could force St. Lucia 

and other Eastern Caribbean states to review their energy prices at this time. 

The Prime Minister’s comment comes at a time when, at both the international and Caribbean levels, governments and 

economies are feeling the hard bite of the harsh reality of the increases in world market prices. 

Price increases recently hit a 30-year high in the USA, resulting in some states having to resort to steep increases at the 

pump. The same stands for Cuba, where prices have increased by some 20% in recent times. 

Several Caricom economies are already reeling under pressure from the sharp increases in the price of oil on the world 

market in recent weeks. 

The Government of Barbados last week announced it will have no choice but to raise energy prices. The island’s Minter of 

Energy, Anthony Wood said the local prices for gas and other petroleum products will have to be increased and there would 

consequently be a “price adjustment” for these products on the local market. 

Mr Wood said the government would not be able to absorb the increased prices due to the magnitude of the cost. 

Dominica has already been forced to increase the price of gas to the pump. In April, that country’s government announced its 

third hike in petroleum prices in six years and the second in four months. 

Jamaica has also announced it will be forced to follow suit, given the potential implications for that country’s economy. 

Guyana recently announced what the government described as “a temporary relief” on gas prices, but said it too would have 

to allow “the strength of market forces” to dictate the pace of prices for gas and other petroleum products on the local market. 

The member-states of the Organisation of Easter Caribbean States (OECS) are all vulnerable to the spiralling oil prices, with 

several states fearing they may have to go Dominica’s way sooner than expected. 

In St. Lucia, where the price of gas at the pump still stands at $7.75 per gallon, the government has shielded consumers from 

increases in gas prices through a policy of subsidizing the increases and guaranteeing petroleum dealers certain minimum 

returns on their business. 

The government’s subsidy over the years has cost over $5 million. However, the latest sharp increases, which have seen 

prices sky-rocketing at an unbridled pace, have resulted in pressure on those Caribbean countries that have been subsiding 

oil prices over the years when prices were more stable. 

In the case of St. Lucia, the recent increases have already resulted in a so-called “Nagative Tax,” resulting in the inability of 

the island’s revenue authorities to collect any taxes on petroleum products imported. As a consequence, Government has 

had to meet the cost of guaranteeing dealers their minimum profits in the face of what would have been certain losses due 

to the increased prices. 

Dr Anthony, who is also the island’s Minister of Finance, recently announced that “if this situation continues, it can seriously 

compromise the economic recovery currently under way.” 

He said the government would “continue to advocate fuel efficiency and the search for sustainable alternatives, while 

keeping its eyes on the world market price.” 


Local Tourism Tour Operators Get International Acclaim 

TWO local tourism tour operators, Cox and Company Ltd and the Soufriere Estate have been honoured by the cruise liner 

Dawn Princess for their services during its season here in St. Lucia. The award ceremony was held on board Dawn’s 

sister vessel Golden Princess which has begun making calls to St. Lucia, replacing the Dawn Princess. 

Cox and company Ltd. a second time Dawn Princess honouree received the Low Volume tour season or Caribbean Pirates 

Extravaganza Award, whilst the High volume tour of the season awards went to the Soufriere Estate’s Diamond Botanical 

Gardens Water Fall and Mineral Baths. 

The low volume tour has been one of the best successes for Cox and Company, which hopes will augur well for the 

upcoming cruise season. Accepting the award Managing Director of Cox and Company Ltd., Matthew Beaubrun said this 

comes as a result of the hard work from dedicated staff members. 

“I would like to thank princess cruises for having confidence in us. It just means that if we work at improving our products, we 

can win more and more awards for St. Lucia. I want to congratulate everybody involved in developing and making sure that 

the product remains at a high standard,” Mr. Beaubrun said. 

A Spokesperson for the Golden Princess noted that because the vessel had not been to the ports of call before, it was nice 

knowing that they were actually dealing with tour operators who are winning these awards. “It gives us the confidence and 

assurance that we are dealing with the right company, especially one that deals with so many of our tours from one port,” she 

said. 

The Golden Princess, which measures 951 feet in length was built in Italy at a cost of US$450 million dollars and has a 

passenger capacity of 2,600. The 17-deck vessel has a speed of 22 knots and will be making weekly calls to St. Lucia.

St. Lucia Hosts Internet Fiesta Week 

THE use of the internet and computer operating systems in facilitating communication and information flow, has been 

highlighted as one of the major correlations between all aspects of present day living. In light of that, organizers of 

Internet Fiesta, a regional initiative which was launched at the Castries City Hall on Monday, May 24th, say the theme “internet 

for all” encapsulates the need for everyone to become familiar with this key tool of information technology. 

Speaking on behalf of the Prime Minister, National Co-ordinator of Internet Fiesta Dr. Cletus Bertin says the internet must be 

acknowledged as a productive tool for the economic and social development of emerging nations. 

“Networking is highly correlated with economic activity. This is statistically observable, as well as being intuitively 

understandable as the flow of information has always being integral to activities of production, trade , investment and to the 

operations of markets,” commented Dr. Bertin. 

Head of the OECS Education Reform Unit Ms. Candia Alleyne says by and large, the internet is under utilized in the region. 

She believes the region’s participation in internet fiesta will encourage persons to explore the internet. 

The OECS countries which were involved in the internet fiesta are, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, St.Kitts, and Antigua. Corporate 

entities involved in information technology set up week-long exhibitions at several location island wide, offering students and 

the public the opportunity to participate in programming and witness demonstrations.
